April Theme and Photo Prompt Challenge

Hello friends! As the seasons continue their inevitable change we have already reached the start of April - and that means it's time to launch the April STAMPlorations Theme and Photo Prompt challenge. We loved seeing your beautiful creations for the March challenge, it's so nice that we can all share inspiration with each other through this challenge. And as a little perk for you, we of course have some lovely prizes every month where one of the DT members will pick their favourite project to win a $20 prize code to the STAMPlorations store and three randomly drawn crafters will win a $7 prize code. The winners will be announced on May 10th, so don't forget to check in if you play along (and don't forget to check in on April 10th if you played along with our March challenge!).

Our April theme is Stamps and Curves. As usual, we also have a photo prompt you can draw inspiration from. You can use the theme, the photo prompt or both to inspire your project. To be eligible for the prizes we ask that you follow a few very simple rules to make it fair and fun for everyone. You can link up a maximum of 3 projects (any kind!), no more, even if using different platforms. Your project is required to involve stamping of some kind (rubber, clear or digi stamps are all permitted). We love to see you use your STAMPlorations supplies, but any crafting supplies are allowed. Also, your project should be displayed in its full glory on your blog/Instagram/other platform, sneak peeks are not eligible for our challenges. Last but not least, don't forget to link to this post (find the link below) and make sure you add the challenge graphic to your post to qualify for prizes. All the challenge rules are summarised at the end of the post. And the most important rule is of course to have fun, get messy, inky and creative!

If you play, make sure you include the graphic in your post and link back (via text link) to this challenge post in order to qualify for our prizes :o) Please also read our simple rules, which you'll find toward the end of this post.

All players, please read:

Before you add your project to the link-up, make sure that you are already linking up to this challenge and the challenge graphic is displayed on your blog post. Otherwise, your entry may be deleted and/or not qualify for the prizes. Also, please link up a maximum of 3 entries -- whether you are linking from your blog or your Instagram account. The maximum number of entries is 3 per player, so linking up 2 of your projects from your blog and 2 projects from your Instagram account will disqualify you from the voting/random drawing and prizes.
